Fujifilm 10-24mm f4 Lens Review And Sample Images

The original 10-24mm f4 remains a great used buy for travel photography. It’s sharpest around 14mm, and while it doesn’t have a ton of punch, the OIS handles 1/30 with no trouble.
Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R Lens Review & Sample Photos

The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R lens is an absolutely phenomenal that is extremely fast with beautiful bokeh and a 7-blade rounded aperture at f1.2. The lens is optically near perfect and is very well-built with an all metal barrel. It does have somewhat of a high element count as a tradeoff to great corner…
A Few Days With The Olympus E-M5 ii

The Olympus E-M5 II has been one of those cameras I struggle not to buy. I’ve had it in my Amazon checkout cart, and I’m ready to go at least thrice. So, instead of adding to my pile of test cameras, I exercised some self-control. I rented it for a few days to do all…
Iridient Developer vs Lightroom – A Detailed Comparison

You may have heard of this Iridient Developer RAW converter if you’re a Fuji shooter. If you haven’t, it’s something worth checking out. I’ve been using Iridient for the last few months with my Fuji X100T and have been so blown away by the difference it makes when converting my Fuji RAW files that I decided to make a…
RNI Film Presets At The Beach

I recently picked up the RNI All Films V3.0 Lightroom presets by Really Nice Images and wanted to try them out on some beach photos I took in Huntington last weekend. I’ll post more photos with these throughout the next few weeks, but my first impressions are pretty good. Usually, I think most presets are not great…
Lensmate FujiX100T Thumbrest Review

The Lensmate Fuji X100T Thumbrest has arrived and I thought I would take a few photos of what the black version looks like and share with you my experiences using it.
Fujifilm TCL-X100 Tele Conversion Review

The TCL-X100 II Tele Conversion lens is a lens you put over the X100 lens adding a 1.4x optical crop giving it a 50mm field of view in the equivalent 35mm format. It screws onto the front filter threads of any of the Fuji X100 series camera lenses.
Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 Detailed Review & Sample Images

The Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 is an amazing, stabilized zoom on Canon bodies, though it’s heavy and vignetting is an issue. Just don’t bother adapting it to the Sony A7r with Metabones.
Fujifilm X100T Gariz Half-Case Review

I have been looking for a nice leather case for my Fujifilm X100T for a while. I was worried if the thinner camera shape would fit in these cases made for the X100 or X100s. I tried the Gariz, Leather Half Case because it looked good and had a solid base with a tripod screw.
Fuji X100T vs X100s – 9 Key Differences

In the last few months, I’ve been reading many blogs and reviews on the Fuji X100T, and there is this thing they all seem to imply, “The X100T isn’t worth the upgrade if you already own the X100s.” I couldn’t say whether or not I agreed with this since I have never owned any Fuji camera since the Fuji X100T.…
